Skriaudziai Basic School

Our school is situated in a really beautiful rural place. The school has three buildings: Pre-Primary, Primary (children aged 7-11) and Basic (children aged 11-16). Currently there are 120 pupils with different needs, such as, sport, arts, music, maths and languages. Our school is declared the educational institution in the district that organises the biggest number such type of activities. There are also some pupils with special needs. The staff of this school is qualified enough, there are 22 teachers, 4 of them have methodologist degree. The school collaborates with other educational institutions. Different means of collaboration are carried out: common projects and events, conferences and methodological meetings. Despite all the advantages there are some disadvantages. There is a number of pupils who are from socially supported families. A social worker try to make students to take part in different projects in order they can become full-fledged members of a society. Students take part in social and charitable activities: visit lonely old people, bring their own made cakes, clean surroundings. Tolerance is very important in our school life. The attitude towards personality helps to avoid conflicts. Every year we organise „Tolerance day festival“ that is to commemorate the day of AIDS. It is the first time our school tries to participate in a Comenius project. We think it would be useful for students to get acquainted with the culture of other countries, to communicate and collaborate, improve language skills and motivate the tolerance.
